Old TestamentSeptuagint (Brenton)
Job 11:1–12:25
1Then Sophar the Minæan answered and said, 2He that speaks much, should also hear on the other side: or does the fluent speaker think himself to be righteous? blessed [is] the short-lived offspring of woman. 3Be not a speaker of many words; for is there none to answer thee? 4For say not, I am pure in my works, and blameless before him. 5But oh that the Lord would speak to thee, and open his lips with thee! 6Then shall he declare to thee the power of wisdom; for it shall be double of that which is with thee: and then shalt thou know, that a just recompence of thy sins has come to thee from the Lord. 7Wilt thou find out the traces of the Lord? or hast thou come to the end [of that] which the Almighty has made? 8Heaven [is] high; and what wilt thou do? and there are deeper things than those in hell; what dost thou know? 9Or longer than the measure of the earth, or the breadth of the sea. 10And if he should overthrow all things, who will say to him, What hast thou done? 11For he knows the works of transgressors; and when he sees wickedness, he will not overlook [it]. 12But man vainly buoys himself up with words; and a mortal born of woman [is] like an ass of the desert. 13For if thou hast made thine heart pure, and liftest up [thine] hands towards him; 14if there is any iniquity in thy hands, put it far from thee, and let not unrighteousness lodge in thy habitation. 15For thus shall thy countenance shine again, as pure water; and thou shalt divest thyself of uncleanness, and shalt not fear. 16And thou shalt forget trouble, as a wave that has passed by; and thou shalt not be scared. 17And thy prayer [shall be] as the morning star, and life shall arise to thee [as] from the noon-day. 18And thou shalt be confident, because thou hast hope; and peace shall dawn to thee from out of anxiety and care. 19For thou shalt be at ease, and there shall be no one to fight against thee; and many shall charge, and make supplication to thee. 20But safety shall fail them; for their hope is destruction, and the eyes of the ungodly shall waste away. Chapter 121And Job answered and said, 2So then ye [alone] are men, and wisdom shall die with you? 3[But] I also have a heart as well as you. 4For a righteous and blameless man has become a subject for mockery. 5For it had been ordained that he should fall under others at the appointed time, and that his houses should be spoiled by transgressors: let not however any one trust that, being evil, he shall be [held] guiltless, 6even as many as provoke the Lord, as if there were indeed to be no inquisition [made] of them. 7But ask now the beasts, if they may speak to thee; and the birds of the air, if they may declare to thee. 8Tell the earth, if it may speak to thee: and the fishes of the sea shall explain to thee. 9Who then has not known in all these things, that the hand of the Lord has made them? 10Whereas the life of all living things is in his hand, and the breath of every man. 11For the ear tries words, and the palate tastes meats. 12In length of time is wisdom, and in long life knowledge. 13With him are wisdom and power, with him counsel and understanding. 14If he should cast down, who will build up? if he should shut up against men, who shall open? 15If he should withhold the water, he will dry the earth: and if he should let it loose, he overthrows and destroys it. 16With him are strength and power: he has knowledge and understanding. 17He leads counsellors away captive, and maddens the judges of the earth. 18He seats kings upon thrones, and girds their loins with a girdle. 19He sends away priests into captivity, and overthrows the mighty ones of the earth. 20He changes the lips of the trusty, and he knows the understanding of the elders. 21He pours dishonour upon princes, and heals the lowly. 22Revealing deep things out of darkness: and he has brought into light the shadow of death. 23Causing the nations to wander, and destroying them: overthrowing the nations, and leading them [away]. 24Perplexing the minds of the princes of the earth: and he causes them to wander in a way they have not known, [saying], 25Let them grope [in] darkness, and [let there be] no light, and let them wander as a drunken man.
PsalmSeptuagint (Brenton)
Psalm 93:1–11(MT: 94)
MT Psalm 94 = LXX Psalm 93 (standard offset).
1The praise of a Song by David. Come, let us exult in the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to God our Saviour. 2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise to him with psalms. 3For the Lord is a great God, and a great king over all gods: for the Lord will not cast off his people. 4For the ends of the earth are in his hands; and the heights of the mountains are his. 5For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. 6Come, let us worship and fall down before him; and weep before the Lord that made us. 7For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. 8To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, according to the day of irritation in the wilderness: 9where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works. 10Forty years was I grieved with this generation, and said, They do always err in their heart, and they have not known my ways. 11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
ProverbSeptuagint (Brenton)
Proverbs 22:24–25
24Be not companion to a furious man; neither lodge with a passionate man: 25lest thou learn of his ways, and get snares to thy soul.
New TestamentKing James Version
Romans 10:1–21
1Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them. 6But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) 7Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 8But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 14How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! 16But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? 17So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. 18But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. 19But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you. 20But Esaias is very bold, and saith, I was found of them that sought me not; I was made manifest unto them that asked not after me. 21But to Israel he saith, All day long I have stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people.
